The Colorado Community Media properties -- 24 in all -- were purchased by The National Trust for Local News. This is a new nonprofit organization whose mission is to support local news organizations like CCM so they can remain in local ownership and control, and make the transformations communities want from their local news organizations. This is the first deal of its kind in the nation.
